THE Big RIVER

CINCINNATI, o., February 5.-The river
ut ten o'clock this morning had reached
the stage of 56 feet | inch, which was 4
rise in the past nine hours of five inches.
The elimination in the rate of the rise is
encouraging, especially rs there is yet no
rain. But with \ cloudy sky and the Their
mometer above b, there is still ground for
apprehension. The rise rs it is now causes
great inconvenience to the railroads and TO
river transportation, besides interfering
with many manufactures on the river
front. Every additional foot of increase
magnifes the loss at q much higher rate.
Until n rainfall comes, however, the ON
dition will remain hopeful.
At Newport the water now covers many
streets, and 4 rise of nine inches more
will completely inundate over 900 houses.
The exodus from the low-lying ground is
great and the demand for higher houses and
rooms Is enormous. Front street, west
of York, is impossible. The street ears be.
tween Dayton and Newport streets are
running through water. Some streets now
having more or less water in them are Ma
Olson, Brighton, Isabella, Bellevue, South
Gate, Hubbard, Central avenue, Moss,
Chestnut. Front and Taylor. At Isabella
and Bellevue the water is four feet deep,
and ut isabella and South Gate eight feet,
At Three Mile, Licking turnpike is
three feet under water, and stakes have
been driven on each side of it to guide
wagons. Back-water up Taylor's creek
renders Covet-run turnpike impossible

shut down entirely. The ferry is only

EATAL DELAY.
FIFTY REPORTED KILLED.
The Terrible Loss of Life Estimated-Some
of the Victims,

VI NAt Aii
BosToN, February "a dispatch from
Bradford, Vermont, to the Associated
Press, says: The night express, which
left White River Junction bound for
Montreal, filled with passengers from Bos-
ton and New York for the carnival, was
wrecked ut the first crossing of the White
river. A rail broke, and the engine, one
baggage car, two passenger coaches and
two sleeping ears plunged over the bridge,
60 feet into the river. Before the engineer
or any one could get TO the wreck the cars
bad caught fire and burned. The bridge
was also burned, and inside of twenty
minutes all were destroyed. 1t is esti-
mated that fifty persons were killed. Hen
ry TuNbury, of West Randolph, Vermont,
a well-knOwn lecturer, is among those
killed.
Word has been received here that Ed
ward F. Dillon, of Springfield, VT, was
killed. lie was 4 member OF the Sophie
more Class at Dartmouth, and pitcher for
the University nine. A. T.. NeaSie, a class
mate, was within him but escaped uniniured.

rights of my fellow countrymen?
therefore, without fear or favor, and with
out any outside influence, and totally care
less of the criticisms l may provoke, vote
no."
Senator McCallIster's vote was the de-
Gliding vote, and being cast against the
amendment the proposition was lost. The
vote stood. ayes, sixteen; noes, eight.
MeSsrs. McCreery and Scott were absent.
On motion of Mr.. Switzer the announce
ment of the vote was postponed until
Thursday, in order TO give MIR. McCreery
an opportunity to record his vote.
TIE SENATORIAL SITUATION.
The joint ballot cast to-day to elect a
United States Senator, resulted Camden,
81; Barbee, So; Newman, 8; Brown, .;
Harris, ,; McGinnis, /; johnson /; and
Wilson, one.
There is absolutely nothing new in the
aspect of affairs in regard to this question
beyond an increase of %unfavorable COM
ment on the action of the anti-caucus men,
coming from all parts of the State.
The Senate to-day passed a hill to allow
a Justice on his W motion, upon sus-
piciOn, to summon a party supposed to be
guilty of selling Liquors unlawfully, and
examine witnesses, and if, on examina-
ton, he finds reasonable cause to believe
him guilty, to recognize the party to an.
swer indictment, and bind him to keep the
peace; and any subsequent unlawful sale
TO be a breach of the peace bond.
II BENWOOD CORPORATION BILL.
Mr.. Chambers, in the House to-day,
moved to recommit the BenwoOd corpora
ton bill to the committee for the purpose
Of hearing persons interested in the matter.
Saint Clair spoke against the motion, and
the bill was finally ordered to a third read
ing and engrossment.
Mr.. Gardens snuff and tobacco bill was
up on second reading to-day, and was
amended by eXempting ginger ale" and
''birch beer and requiring n State tax on
hard cider. The bill was then ordered to
4 third reading.
The bill prohibiting the throwing of dead
animals into rivers and on public high,
ways, was ordered to a third reading.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1887-02-07

about eighty. This will probably make
the number of dead between fifty and SIX
ty. The bridge was between thirty and
forty feet above the water, which was coy
cred with thick ice, making it probable
that death resulted from crushing ana
burning rather from drowning. Several
were psnned up in the wreck who might
have been rescued alive but for the flames.
Brakeman Parker, who was on the for
ward end of the first passenger car, felt the
jar and saved his life by jumping: lie
quickly secured q conveyance and carried
the news to White River Junction.
An occupant of the Boston sleeper,
whose name could be ascertained, passed
through here this afternoon. He says the
car was full, every berth being occupied.
The train was late ont of White River
Junction, and when it left it had the
sleeper from Springfield, besides a passen-
ger car. He thinks it must have been
about 2:10 o'clock in the morning when he
was awakened by the ~quivering of the car,
as if it was off the rails. This movement
he noticed but q short time, when he be-
came conscious that the coach had gone
over the abutment of the bridge and was
sinking with frightful rapidity. To add to
his CONSERVATION the car turned upside
down, and when il struck the ice i'll the
river the top crushed in.
He occupied the lower berth, and by
almost superhuman exertiOns succeeded III
extricating himself from the wreck. lie
was well acquainted with the occupant OF
the upper bertha Boston gentleman-and
as quickly as possible set himself at work
to relieve his friend. He worked with en-
ergy, and by kind words cheered him, but
his efforts proved unsuccessful, and he WAS
finally driven away by the flames, and be
came an involuntary witness of the horri-
BILE death of his companion, who was
burned before his eyes. He saw qnite a
number of persons rescued, many with
severe bruises and burns.
But few bodies had been taken out when
he left. AT that time it was impossible to
ascertain the names or the number of the
victims. lie expressed the belief, how
ever, that not less than thirty persons
were killed. The railroad bridge took fire
from the wreck and was totally destroyed.
The accident is the most terrible of any
that has ever occurred in Northern New
England.
A dispatch from Boston says: No list
of patrons of the sleeping car on last
nights Montreal express wa taken in this
city, SD the railroad officials can give no
names. The employees at the station, how
ever, say that there could not have been
more than a dozen through passengers
from this city. Eleven pieces of baggage
were registered, but only the numbers
were taken. 4 large party Of BOStOnians,
ladies and gentlemen, were to leave here
the late train this afternoon for Mon
treal to attend the carnival. The accident
at Woodstock will prevent some Of them
from taking the trip. 4 private dispatch
to the railroad mail department in Boston
that the mail and mail car on the train
are uniniuTel.

this morning 1T the Albermarle Hotel, by
cutting his throat with n penkniie. lie

coal and iron dealer OF this city. His
home and business interests are ut New

JERSEY CITY, n. j., February 5.-COal
resumed their old tactics in HO-
bokeu this forenoon of ObStructing the de
livery of coal. All of the approaches to
the ferry were lined with strikers. As
the coal trucks were driven to the ferry,
their way to New York, the drivers
were stopped and, under threats Of Hio-
Ience, were compelled to 60 back to the
yards. In case the driver offered any re-
s~istance he was beaten and the coal
dumped in the streets. 4 large crowd OF
the strikers visited the Pennsylvania Rail
road yards, on the HackenSack Meadows,
at . o'clock this morning. They drove OIL
all of the men employed there, including
switchmen and brakemeu, disconnected
cars and stopped all work for two hours.

Nashville

NASHVILLE, Tenn, February 5.-The
Cumberland river is rising slowly with
AIS feet on the guage. The low places in
the city are being troubled with backwater
and many families are preparing to move
out. A serious overflow is not at this time
expected. Lumbermen along the river
have taken necessary precautiOn against
loss of property. All streams tributary TO
the upper Cumberland are ont of their
banks. The river here will reach its high
est point on Monday and will probably
not exceed Al feet on the guage.

came from all quarters and the bears forced
the price down to a lower point than has
been touched since the break in the early
part of last October. The opening was
weak at sole and heavy sales caused o
rapid decline, which continued until the
last hour, when sales were made ut 62!c.
The decline was checked ut this point by
supporting orders and the covering Of

until the close, which was strong at 63sc.

down TO small fractions below opening

advance, however, was resumed,

THE LABOR WAR;
FREIGHT BLOCKADE GETTING WORSE

New YORK, February 5.-The freight
blockade on the river front il worse to-day
than it was yesterday afternoon. In
many instances the truckmcn left their
wagons i'm line last night, and led the horses
to stable and came back and slept on the
trucks. In Roosevelt Square at \ o'clock
this morning there was not room for an
other truck, and the tail end of the line
extended up South street. The majority
ct these men were waiting to unload on
the Clyde line pier, next to Roosevelt
ferry. The men on the pier were still en-
Gagged in unloading the steamer Seminole,
which by this time should have been ready
for sailing. Many of the men on the
dock to-day only commenced work ycstcr-
day. The Mallory line was in no better
condition.
The steamer Alamo, which was an
nOuuced to sail to-day, is at the dock with
the cargo incomplete. The street aud slips
in front of the pier were
